“If Slive and the Power 5 get what they want, we’ll move rapidly toward a new world in major college sports. It will be a world where the phony veil of amateurism at the major-college level will finally be yanked away. It will mean a lot of significant changes that could mean athletes at the biggest schools will begin to share a bigger split in the mind-numbing profits that conferences like the SEC enjoy.”

Hell, they’re just shooting themselves in the foot. They do that, and the professional-league coaches, Saban on down, will bolt as their several million dollars a year salaries plummet. Right now, the highest paid public employee in most states is a college coach. That will start to change if you go the Mike Slive route.

    Confused.

    Ru saying Slive doesn’t know how this will pan out?
    He doesn’t know that players may start to be cut into the gravy train?

    And is this good or bad for colleges and/or students?
    Might they just have semi-pro sports teams that are just loosely
    “Affiliated” by tradition to universities?

    I’m thinking Slive & co. r thinking like corporations. How can we make more money
    in whatever shape, form or entity?
